Everyone has something to lose. And sometimes, the person standing in front of you is the reason you lost it.
𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗮 𝗩𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗶 learned the hard way that how quickly everything can fall apart. Years ago, a scandal she never saw coming forced her to leave modeling and walk away from the life she once loved. She built a different life for herself as a fashion designer, keeping her distance from the past and from the people who once broke her trust.
𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗻𝗼 never left that world. He lives in a world that thrives on his attention. As one of the industry’s most sought-after models who has learned how to live with both admiration and criticism. The spotlight never really leaves him, but neither do the expectations that come with it. What he is not used to is the way one woman unsettles the careful balance he has always kept.
When Luna is assigned as his stylist for an important event, neither of them expects much from the partnership. It is supposed to be professional, temporary and just work. But the past has a way of returning when it is least welcome.
Old betrayals, hidden truths, and the reappearance of someone Luna never thought she would face again begin to blur the line between what they feel and what they should walk away from. What starts as an unexpected connection slowly become harder to face than either of them imagined. Because sometimes the hardest part is not falling in love.
It is loving someone when it hurts.

“You hate me, right? Then stop looking at me like you want to kiss me and kill me at the same time. If I was using you, Luna… I wouldn’t be looking at you like this,” he said, not giving her a chance to respond. “Hurt me all you want, but don’t lie when your hands still shake when I touch you.”
